16F690 oddities

So apparently pin 11 can be used as Vdd and pin 10 as Vss?

so I accidentally plugged in my PIC backwards in my circuit on my bread board. When the led didn't light (it was supposed to blink), I assumed I got the code wrong and had the led connected to the wrong pin, so I plugged the led in different placed until the led flashed, then I realized it was the right pin, just wrong side.

Is the chip smart enough to figure out what I want as input voltage? If the pins can be used as power source and ground, why isn't it listed as such in the data sheet?

Check out all the labs and lectures! He even has resources on learning C from Java and C++. I'll see what I can learn from this...

So, as verified by BaseOverApex, this site rocks. I'll be working on it over the next couple of weeks with the JDM programmer, Winpic and a 16F690. I'll probably have questions, and if you're following this, you probably will too. Maybe we can help each other?

Further progress will be added as it is made.

P.S. They seem nice, if you find it helpful and you have a job, you should support them :-P
